OEM facelift Xenon-lamps on pre-facelift car? Possible..? and...

can the headlight housings easily be fit to a pre-facelift...
Much that have to be changed when connecting the electrics?

And the xenon... Will it be possible to use halogen in the same housings...
I live in norway and xenon requires automatic leveling. So for "control" I would have to use halgens on some way, to fool the guys that check...

In the US ... the answers would be ...

Yes with fender trimming

No but some rewiring will be required

Yes the Halogen projector housing supports a Xenon upgrade

No you cannot retrofit Auto-leveling into a car that didn't have it to begin with (at least I don't think anyone here has done that) AL is is required in the US too.

Not sure what you mean by using halogens also, but I suppose it would be possible 'switch back' during for a scheduled government auto inspection.
